Everspace 2 controls12/18/2023 ![]() The story of Everspace 2 intrigues me so far, giving me reason to keep exploring and learning about this universe. Slowly flying toward a derelict spaceship to loot, the game’s awesome soundtrack playing while a massive planet looms over ’s an awesome sight to behold. I’m free to look around and see what I can find, which honestly is the best part of the game. Everything is done in the confines of my ship, and once I’m done the game clearly gives instructions on my next objective.but I don’t have to immediately leave the zone. Each zone contains areas to explore and loot, enemies to defeat, and of course objectives to complete. This game is the closest I’ve ever been to being in outer space, and the tools it gives me to explore are amazingly fun. ![]() Once I do get a handle on the controls, however, Everspace 2 is an absolute joy. Taking away free space flight and making things more linear defeats the entire purpose of the game, so all I can say is if you have motion sickness, proceed with caution. Unfortunately I don’t really see a solution here either, because it’s simply the nature of the game. I’ve never had a bout of motion sickness in my life, and yet there were times I found myself getting a little dizzy trying to find the objective. I know it’s odd to put this sort of nitpick in a preview piece, but I bring this all up for one simple and important reason: those with motion sickness will have a problem with Everspace 2. Bringing enemies into the fray makes things even more hectic, although being able to track the red blips on the screen that surround the enemies does help. Even at lower sensitivities I find myself getting disoriented quickly, losing my place or ending up going a completely different direction from my marker.and that’s not even in the heat of battle. The problem, instead, is the camera watching me pilot this ship. Everything’s laid out simply and comfortably, and I’m able to pilot the spaceship with little confusion. Aiming and shooting happens with the mouse, left click is main weapon and right click secondary, while the wheel lets me switch between two different weapons on the fly. In fact the controls are actually fairly simple: WASD for movement, F for a quick boost to cross big distances in a single location, or C to jump from planet to planet. I opted to play with keyboard and mouse, a format I will readily admit is not my forte, but the layout isn’t the issue. Let’s get one issue out of the way immediately: controlling the spaceship can be disorienting.
